PGM Douglas Philand, thanked everyone for attending, especially those from overseas and afar. Also, special thanks to RWM, Donald Crawford, who made a fine job of organising the event, despite late call off's. The PGM also expressed a vote of thanks to Lochgilphead Bowling Club, for use of the facilities and thanked the brethren who survived the famine (private joke :) ) Next year the bowls will be hosted by Lodge St Munn and the following year, Lodge St John's, Campbeltown, No.141.
